Just finished short turkey bow
« on: May 02, 2009, 03:19:00 PM »
I made this bow out of a 4"dia Red Cedar sapling.I backed it with Hickory as thin as I could get it. 54" 50#@26. 1&3/8" to 1/2" tips. It took 1&1/2" of set. Shoots quick. Turkey Poison

Nice job. you did real good for such a short bow. Love the skin job, those are copperheads on the mid limbs? I haven't seen that pattern in the snake. I built a bamboo backed juniper that actually gained reflex as I tillered it, I'm thinkin bamboo backed red cedar would be great too. Once again nice work Kendall.   :thumbsup:
